When they got home, Xue Wufu and Li Hehua told the rest about it. Before Xue Yan and Jiang Yue could say anything, Xue Dafu and the others said, “How long are you guys going to take to dig? We’ll help you guys dig in the afternoon.”
However, Liu Guixia was a little worried. “We can’t dig that many in such a short time. We have so many people. Even if we all go, we’ll need at least two days. The seedlings today will wither after two days. How about this? Hehua and I will start planting the seedlings you dug this morning on the barren land in the afternoon. You guys are responsible for digging and planting the seedlings for me and Hehua.”
“Yes, that sounds good. Very good.” Xue Dafu nodded.
“If we plant it so densely, there won’t be any space for us to walk around. Do we need to make ridges?” Xue Erfu asked.
Hearing this, Jiang Yue felt that he was indeed a farmer. He didn’t even need her to tell him to do the work.
In this aspect, Xue Yan admired his family. They were all good at farming.
“Of course, we have to do the ridging, so that we can water the plants by the ridges.” Yu Hongyan said. “Let’s do it in two big ridges. It’s like planting corn. Maybe we’ll have some harvest in the end.”
“Then let’s do double ridges. It’s just a little more energy and troublesome but it’ll be good for the plants.” Xue Dafu decided. “Guixia, you and Hehua will be busy this afternoon. Let’s go to the barren land and make the ridges first. Then, you and Hehua will plant them, and we will go and dig for raspberries after.”
“That’s great,” Liu Guixia said with a smile.
Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan looked at Jiang Yue.
This was too smooth. She didn’t even need to say anything to him.
Xue Yan was really surprised. In the morning, Jiang Yue had told him about double planting on the long ridge, but now, his family had come and knew that this was the best way to plant.
If Jiang Yue didn’t tell him, he wouldn’t have known about this.
Jiang Yue finished her lunch first. While no one was paying attention to Xue Yan and Xue Wufu’s baskets in the shade, she quickly took out almost the same-looking seedlings from her space and exchanged them with the seedlings in the baskets.
After lunch, Xue Dafu and the others went to the plot of land that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had mentioned to start ridging. It was a newly opened plot of land, and the previous family hadn’t planted anything yet. The soil was loose, and there was no grass, so it was easy to do the ridging.
After they were done, Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu also took their baskets and started digging for raspberries.
Li Hehua and Liu Guixia planted the seeds they had dug up in the morning on the ridge. They were so similar that neither of them noticed anything wrong.
Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao carried their baskets and came over to help dig up more raspberries like it was a game.
Xue Gouzi also wanted to come back, but when he was about to leave the house with his basket, he was pulled back by his mother, Zhang Meili.
“Where are you going?” Zhang Meili asked fiercely.
Xue Gouzi was a little scared, but he still said, “G-grandpa asked me to help Xue Yan and Jiang Yue dig up raspberries.”
“Don’t use your grandfather to pressure me! Are you even my son? Why are you so different from me? If their family had split the money from the start, would your brother have been beaten half to death? You’re even going to help them dig for seeds?? I think you’ve forgotten that your mother is still alive!” Zhang Meili cursed. If it wasn’t for the fact that her husband was there just now, she wouldn’t be able to deal with her son because of this. She would have hit her son long ago.
What the h*ll!
He clearly came out of her stomach!
Why didn’t he treat her well at all?
Her eldest son was the best. Not only did he look like her, but he also had the same heart as her!
